VIDEO: Chris Christie caught a foul ball at a Mets game and was promptly booed by the crowd

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie showed off some rare athleticism
Tuesday night when he caught a foul ball during the third inning
of a Mets game at New York's Citi Field.

The New York crowd initially cheered the impressive,
one-handed catch, before a video replay revealed Christie as the
ball's recipient. The governor was then booed heartily, as
several spectators reported on social media.

The jeers continued even as Christie handed the souvenir off to a
young boy in the crowd.

The negative reception shouldn't have come as a surprise —
Christie has an approval rating of just 15%, the lowest of
any governor in New Jersey history. His public image took a blow
over Fourth of July weekend, when he was photographed with his
family relaxing on a state-owned beach that was closed to
the public because of a government shutdown.

"Nice to see him get from the beach here to the
ballpark," Cardinals announcer Dan McLaughlin quipped from
his booth.
